SE4 by Committee

[Taera]

i guess im too late, plus i dont yet have Gold (will soon). i've read this from school but had no way of posting it from there :-/
Guess i'll hae to wait for second row...
Anyway, i had a suggestion:
Every position has replacement people standing in the line. as soon as one is killed/exits he is moved to the end (if killed) and the next person takes his place.
How does that sound?

[Suicide Junkie]

You don't need Gold to play.
You don't even need SE4 to play, but it would help.

I will be typing in the commands that the players and senate dictate, and will post the savegame and summaries of the events.

If any particular minister dies, is promoted, retires or is evicted by the senate, then the Avatars with the greatest seniority will have first dibs on taking over the position.
Seniority is based on time since Last ressurection.

[tesco samoa]

we could create a channel on games net as well

[Dan C.]

Okay, this sounds different and interesting. I'll take transportation minister if it is still open.

I can see how this goes and after learning what not to do attempt my idea...

[Skulky]

I'd like to be Construction minister. And once the game gets rolling, if i could get one or two planets (or a whole system) that is like a construction hub. assuming everyone agrees. I think teh system lords is really cool, cause then ppl will have to negotiate for what they want etc.

[Askan Nightbringer]

I like the sounds of this.
I'll be a Senator.

I only need to do IM chat with the particular General who is involved in that particular combat.
If more than one is going to be in the same fleet, they would decide beforehand who will lead and when the other can take over.
The likely choice would be the one who is present at the time, and if both are, seniority would decide the leader unless the fleets are already divided up somehow.

What if the general isn't Online, or 2 generals are needed for 2 consecutive battles, and only one of them is Online, do you stop the game? Or let the other general take over combat?

[Sabaoth]

I really like this idea. I would like to be a system lord, if the opportunity arises.

I can leave the game running on my PC for a few hours while waiting for the next General to wake up/get home from work/etc.
Not a problem.
Generals should have a proxy player in another timezone, preferably.

The finance minister is the Last job we will really need filled (at least before first contact). Plenty of power since most things boil down to needing money Anyone want it? Lemmy?
